Valentino introduces Vendetta Uomo, a fragrance defined by contrast. Fronted by brand ambassadors Alexander Skarsgård and Dakota Johnson, the campaign explores attraction through instinct.
Created by master perfumer Marie Salamagne, Vendetta Uomo pairs the bright spark of ginger extract with a cinnamon liqueur accord before settling into the earthy depth of patchouli. The composition shifts between freshness, spice, and warmth, creating a woody fragrance with a sensual edge that feels confident.

The fragrance arrives in a sculptural glass bottle defined by Valentino’s signature V motif. Its cognac-toned juice reinforces the richness of the scent inside. Campaign imagery mirrors that same mood, placing Skarsgård against saturated crimson interiors where quiet gestures carry as much impact as bold styling.
Together, the visuals and fragrance present a modern vision of masculinity rooted in texture and character, giving Vendetta Uomo a distinctive place within Valentino’s growing fragrance portfolio.
Valentino draws on that same tactile intimacy in Sombr’s pre-fall 2026 campaign, exchanging Grammy-stage shimmer for a plush velvet robe inside Cy Twombly’s ancient palazzo.
